Albrecht Dürer

1471-1528

German Northern Renaissance Artist

Albrecht Dürer (German pronunciation: [ˈalbʁɛçt ˈdyːʁɐ]; 21
May 1471 – 6 April 1528)[1] was a German painter, printmaker and theorist from
Nuremberg. His prints established his reputation across Europe when he was still
in his twenties, and he has been conventionally regarded as the greatest artist
of the Northern Renaissance ever since. His well-known works include the
Apocalypse woodcuts, Knight, Death, and the Devil (1513), Saint Jerome in his
Study (1514) and Melencolia I (1514), which has been the subject of extensive
analysis and interpretation. His watercolours mark him as one of the first
European landscape artists, while his ambitious woodcuts revolutionized the
potential of that medium.

Dürer's introduction of classical motifs into Northern art, through his
knowledge of Italian artists and German humanists, have secured his reputation
as one of the most important figures of the Northern Renaissance. This is
reinforced by his theoretical treatise, which involve principles of mathematics,
perspective and ideal proportions.
